The pretty mistress of Hou Ye's family

Chapter 24
Meng Tao went back and forth and brought back a door lock.

"Give Miss Huiyi a good look, is this the key to the warehouse?"

Zhang Huiyi held up the door lock for the surrounding people to observe together, "Look, everyone, is there no sign that the door lock has been picked?"

Everyone nodded, "Yes, yes."

With many people testifying, Zhang Huiyi became even more confident. Seeing people take nostrils directly and snort, it was full of ridicule.

"So I'm sure that the door lock is opened with a key, and only Miss Mengtao and my wife have the key. It's conceivable..."

At the moment when Zhang Huiyi announced the result of the incident, Yao Yao snatched the key from Zhang Huiyi's hand, held it up and said, "Everyone, watch out! Is this door locked?"

"Ah, it's locked."

Then, Yao Yao took off a hairpin from her head, and unlocked the door with a few clicks.You don't need a key to unlock the door and unlock it safely.

Everyone exclaimed, "Ma'am, what a craft!"

"You can open the lock without a key?"

Zhang Huiyi blinked speechlessly, "This..."

Yao Yao sneered, "Miss Huiyi, do you think thieves are idiots? They don't even know how to pick locks?"

"Ah...this..."

Unstoppable laughter came from all around, "It's true, I haven't thought of this!"

"Even my wife has the skill of picking locks. How can those thieves dare to lag behind? This door lock is really the same with or without the key."

"exactly."

Zhang Huiyi was speechless by the surrounding crowd.

Yao Yao said softly, "I don't want to waste my time by investigating the theft of the warehouse. I just want to lose money and settle the matter. I will pay the money, and I will fight the person. It's as simple as that. Miss Huiyi, do you have any questions?"

Zhang Huiyi lowered her head in discouragement, and muttered aggrievedly, "I'm just fighting for these guards. They shouldn't be punished so severely by you. They are too wronged and pitiful."

Now that the momentum is over, she can at most restore some of her position in the hearts of the servants.

Yao Yao sneered, "Miss Huiyi, I just want to ask, a lock can't lock a thief, but why did all the patrolling guards go? They worked together to squat in the latrine?"

"This this……"

Everyone around nodded and whispered, "It's really a bit tricky! It feels like these guards have been bribed!"

"Well, I think so too. Otherwise, if all the treasures are stolen, it's impossible not to find any of them."

Suddenly a guard who was beaten raised his voice, "Ma'am, Ma'am, I remembered, when we were patrolling last night, we ran into Miss Huiyi..."

Zhang Huiyi's face suddenly changed.

Manager Zhang also stared in horror, looking at his daughter.

Just when the guard was about to continue, Yao Yao interrupted him at the right time, "Okay! This is the end of the theft. As I said, I don't want to find out who the thief is."

Manager Zhang let out a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Looking back at Yao Yao's gaze, he blinked gratefully.

Yao Yao said, "Actually, this farce is very easy to deal with. I just need everyone in the Hou Mansion to express their opinions to me in public. If you accept it, I can wave the matter away. Rewards should be rewarded and compensations should be made." Compensation, those who were injured by me will be given a piece of silver, and they will be given a three-month vacation to recuperate. Once this matter is over, they will not be held accountable, and they will only lose some of my dowry money. When the matter subsides, my Yao family can save face Keep it, Lord Hou's face can be saved, but if you insist on making trouble with me, that's another way of saying it. Heh... I really want to see if the servants of the Qin family are really arrogant? Even me, the head of the family The mistress doesn't even want to take it seriously? Mr. Zhang, come on, please express your opinion first."

When Manager Zhang heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Madam is the mother of the Qin family, so it should be in charge of the backyard. The servants will naturally obey your orders."

Madam gave such a big step down, no fool would not go down.

Yao Yao grinned, "It seems that Director Zhang knows the general idea."

As soon as these words came out, all the slaves and servant girls knelt down one after another, "Madam is in charge of the house, the servants must do their best to listen to Madam's affairs."

In an instant, all the servants of the Hou Mansion bowed their heads to her.Zhang Huiyi was the only one who stood out from the crowd, standing upright beside her father.

Mr. Zhang kept tugging at his daughter's sleeves, forcing her to kneel down, but she was very stubborn.

Yao Yao rolled her eyes coldly, but didn't take her seriously. "Very good, then from now on, don't let me touch my natal family's thugs again, or the next time I get beaten, I will drag you all to the gate of the palace."

"..."

"..."

Hearing this, not to mention the Qin family's servants were covered with cold sweat, even Qin Yilan and Yu Wenhong's faces were covered with black lines.

This woman doesn't look like a troublemaker, who knows that she will either stay still, and once she makes a move, she is so bold?Dare to do anything?
Hearing Qin Yilan's muffled laughter, Yu Wenhong felt really uncomfortable.

Turning her head, Yao Yao met He Lanyu's gaze, walked towards her with a sweet smile, and said, "Second Miss He."

He Lan responded in embarrassment, "Uh, ah..."

"I'm really sorry that I lost the precious medicinal materials you gave Lord Hou, but... since Ms. He Er wants to return the gift, I can't treat you badly. You spent 3000 taels of gold on the medicine, and I will give you 3 taels of gold , ten times the price, okay?"

As soon as the words fell, He Lanyu knew something was wrong.

Looking around, there were all kinds of mocking voices, "What's the situation? You want to get back the gift you gave?"

"The He family wouldn't be so ignorant, right?"

"This! This is really the first time I've heard of it. Mr. He is really interesting."

He Lanyu blushed instantly, "No, ma'am, I, I, I..."

"Second Miss, please rest assured that our Hou's Mansion is not a place to take advantage of others. It is impossible to forcibly seize gifts. Meng Tao, go to my room and get the bank notes. If you don't have enough bank notes, bring the treasures bestowed by the emperor. Why? You have to fill this account too."

"Yes!"

He Lanyu was about to cry, "Ma'am, I didn't say I would return the gift! Don't..."

It's over, this matter is really serious, it's okay for her to be ashamed alone, but this matter will obviously throw the entire He family into it!
Why is Yao Yao so decisive in doing things?No room is left for them.

"Miss, here are the bank notes."

"Ah."

When Yao Yao took the bank note and was about to hand it over, a man suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

When I heard the voice, it was Lord Hou?
Master Hou is back?
when did he come backHow to hide in the crowd?
Everyone looked over and knelt down to greet him, "Welcome Lord Hou back to the mansion—"

The crowd moved out of the way, Qin Yilan walked up to Yao Yao, Yao Yao took advantage of the situation to meet him, and caught his hand.

Qin Yilan hugged her lightly, and put his big palm on her shoulder.

Seeing the savior coming, He Lanyu hurriedly begged for mercy, "Look, Marquis, my sister really misunderstood me to death. There is no reason to go back the gift I gave you! Do you think so?"

Qin Yilan must have come to rescue her.He Lanyu smiled reassuringly, and looked at Qin Yilan moved.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yilan said, "Yao'er, keep your dowry well, you don't need to use it to pay for these things. Come, go to my medicine store and get a copy of the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and return it to the second lady of the He family!"
